Abstract
An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in its fixed roof comprises a frame for being mounted in the opening in the fixed roof, and a rigid, transparent panel for selectively closing or at least partially releasing the opening in the fixed roof. An adjuster is provided between the frame and the panel for adjusting the panel between the closed position and the open position. The frame is provided with rearward protrusions at the rear, laterally of a central part thereof. The panel extends as far as the protrusions at the rear. This makes it possible to use an extra large roof opening and a large panel, whilst maintaining an interior unit on the fixed roof of the vehicle.
